What Video Card do I have

From DOS, Windows, Windows 95, Windows NT, and OS/2 you can use the following
procedure to identify your video card. From a command prompt type the "debug"
command and hit enter. You will leave the C:\> prompt and be put in the
debug's "-" dash prompt.

C:\> DEBUG
-
At the dash prompt type "d C000:0010" and hit the enter.

C:\>debug

-d C000:0010

You will be given some out put in text in to the far right hand side of the
output. In this text output you will see the name, though possibly broken
up, of your video card.

Here is an example of the debug procedure done on a 9FX
Motion<Picture> 771 with the S3-968 chipset and the 2.05.15 bios revision:
